Research Experience

SEAL Lab, KAIST

Sep 2026–PresentCurrent

Research Intern

Advisor: Prof. Sehoon Kim

  • Researching NVFP4 W4A4 quantization and its performance in looped transformer models.
  • Optimizing inference kernels to improve inference speedups.

PhaseGate

Jun 2026–PresentCurrent

Research Project

Initiated and led the research; co-authored the paper with Prof. Sehoon Kim (KAIST).

  • Built a resource scheduler for on-device LLMs, achieving 2.0× retrieval throughput over a fixed scheduling baseline under the same latency constraint.
  • Paper accepted to the NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on On-Device Intelligence.

UC San Diego

Jun–Aug 2026

Research Intern

Advisor: Prof. Falko Kuester

  • Evaluated a time-series foundation model for zero-shot anomaly detection on real-world operational data.
  • Evaluated proxy anomalies and alert-volume tradeoffs; found that forecast residuals did not reliably predict genuine failures.

SGVR Lab, KAIST

Jan 2026

Undergraduate Researcher

Advisor: Prof. Sung-Eui Yoon

  • Evaluated the semantic robustness of vision-language-action (VLA) policies in simulation under 11 meaning-preserving perturbations.
  • Average success fell from 60% to 25%, with structural edits causing the largest drop.
